Violets and Ash Chapter 63
Hael’s P.O.V.I turned and left Violet standing in the hallway, her face flushed with embarrassment and her chest heaving. The pleasure I’d derived from seeing pain flash across her face, it was tainted by the scent of her fucking arousal.There wasn’t an inch of my skin that wasn’t crawling with need—with desire. If I wasn’t a monster who’d done horrible things, I might’ve screamed myself hoarse shouting at the Moon Goddess for pairing me with her, for tying my soul to hers.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to stop myself.With clawed hands, I pulled at my hair. The pain radiating across my scalp sharpened things, brought some perspective to the situation. At the very least, it stopped the unsettling sensation drenching my skin, like insects were burrowing beneath my flesh and scratching the insides of my veins.The mate-bond was at play, and I’d underestimated it’s pull, but I still wasn’t yet willing to reject her. I wasn’t used to this—this lack of control. It was grati

Hael’s P.O.V.“Fuck, dude. That’s got to hurt.” Cole winced, biting into his clenched fist as he watched me carve a slice of skin off of Ethan’s back.I rolled my eyes, watching as he shifted his weight from his left foot to his right. His eyes were glued on what I was doing, tracking my every move. He had the world fooled, but Cole thrived on violence. Most with the rogue gene did.I’d come here directly after speaking with my father, needing to blow off steam. Since the cabin’s location and true purpose were compromised, I had no choice but to have him relocated. The best option was at Cole’s, deep in his basement where even the house staff refused to go.Since his father wasn’t here, Ethan had the freedom to scream and wail as loudly as he needed. Which is exactly what he did.“What were you going to do to her, Ethan?” I purred, kneeling so that my eyes could be level with his. The cement floor bit into my knees, but I welcomed the brief sting of pain.Ethan mumbled incoherently, w

Hael’s P.O.V.The entire ride back to the clinic, I could hear Arianna’s voice in my head.I met a ghost.A ghost. Ghost. I’d killed more people than I cared to remember. Some I had to search for, traveling across this wasteland of an earth, while others were brought to me. So many left this world at my hands, had their last breath in my vicinity, uttered their pathetic goodbyes for my ears alone, but I had only ever met one ghost.Violet.My Violet.I dropped Cole off at the clinic with Arianna and immediately headed for the estate.There was no such thing as coincidences, and anyone who tried to convince themselves of that was a damned fool. And fools, they didn’t last long in this world. I was no fool.With how much wolfsbane it took to keep Arianna docile, it was a wonder she remembered anything pertaining to reality. She’d only seen Violet a handful of times back then. It was the other girl she became friends with, the one Violet’s mother had brought here with her.Even with m

Hael’s P.O.V.With hands outstretched and determination burning in my eyes, I lunged for her.My first mistake was not paying more attention to the egg in her hand, because she didn’t hesitate to launch it at my face. She had a strong arm on her, sending it soaring through the air faster than most she-wolves her age. Unfortunately for her, I was faster.I moved my head just a few inches to the left, and smirked when the egg exploded on the wall behind me.Second mistake, I assumed she’d stop with the egg.The last thing I thought she’d do was launch an entire bag of fucking flour at me like it were some kind of grenade. Which it might as well have been considering it exploded the second it hit my chest.A plume of white powder filled the air and coated nearly every surface in the entire kitchen.I didn’t move—didn’t fucking breathe with how much anger was coursing through me. If I had, I might’ve thrown her to the ground. Restraint wasn’t something I often had to exercise, but it was

Hael’s P.O.V.The walk from the foyer to Violet’s suite took a few minutes, giving me time to control myself and my stubborn cock.It had never reacted this way before, like it didn’t care who she was or what she’d done. All it knew was untethered desire, the growing need to see her naked and squirming beneath me, completely at my mercy.Violet shifted her weight forward, still slung over my shoulder. I failed to bite back a snarl when her breasts grazed the upper part of my back.“Sorry.” She muttered listlessly.It took her long enough to quit thrashing and finally accept that escape was impossible.“Already apologizing for putting up a fight?” I feigned surprise. “Incredible. I didn’t even have to force it out of you.”Her snort was soft and unamused.“That’s not what I’m apologizing for.” She said.We were just down the hall from her suite, close enough to where I could see the door. For those few seconds it took to close in, I wondered why she was apologizing. It couldn’t be for
Violets and Ash Chapter 68
Hael's P.O.V.Weak.I was weak, and I couldn’t afford to be.The sparkle in her eyes dimmed, like she too could sense that this moment—this thing between us was done. I stepped back, letting her untangle her legs from my waist.“Finish cleaning yourself off.” I grunted, leaving the bathroom without once looking back.It didn’t take her long to emerge from the bathroom. In that time I’d already looked through the contents of her bedroom, not that there was much to go through to begin with.Violet had little personal belongings. Her entire life was summed up by a couple of cookbooks, romance novels with cheesy covers, and some t-shirts that were several sizes too big.I’d expected her to come out wrapped in a towel, having actually taken a shower, but she didn’t. The corset and skirt she wore was still on her body, albeit soaked completely through. From her pout and the defiant light dancing in her eyes, I’d guess she thought she was doing something by not showering.“Why are you still

3.Violet’s P.O.V.I crawled into bed absolutely drained of energy. Tonight sapped every ounce of my strength (and possibly my sanity) until I had only fumes left.If it weren’t for those fumes, I would’ve fallen asleep butt naked on top of the comforter.Thankfully, I had just enough to slip on a tank top and some panties before passing out head-first into the pillows. I’d also managed to flick the lock on the door, which made me even more exhausted.There was no amount of time in the world that would help me process everything I’d learned. From meeting Cole’s infamous twin sister, whose rogue gene was so bad she had to be kept locked away from the world, to the fact that I didn’t have these scars when Hael and I had first met.I just didn’t know what to do with it all.Sleep was the only reprieve I had, and even that only lasted so long.I was launched head-first into a nightmare. One full of blood, and the sound of a child’s laughter. When I was torn from sleep, I swore I could sti
Violets and Ash Chapter 70
Violet’s P.O.V.Denial burned in my gut, fueling my anger. My head was swimming, churning with waves that crashed against one another. On one side was desire, forming a vicious swell that toppled me and shoved me under. Rage helped me break through the waves, but it was becoming so hard to resist when my body sang under his touch.“Fuck you, Hael. Make up your damn mind. Fuck me or murder me, but you can’t have both.” I hissed.He ignored me. Of course, he ignored me. His eyes had already left my face, sliding down the curve of my neck to where my breasts strained against the thin fabric of my tank top, heaving with every ragged breath I took.When his attention flicked back up to my face, his eyes were so hooded I wondered if he could even help himself.Was Hael drowning too? Did he crave me as badly as I craved him?“Have you ever had someone’s mouth there, Princess?” He asked, his voice like gravel.The urge to preen at that horrible nickname he gave me was so strong I had to bite
